About this listen

Unearth the chilling secrets of Whitby's Forgotten Victims in this gripping new thriller by bestselling British crime author Wes Markin.

In a town as old as Whitby, the shadows run deep...

When a body is found floating in the North Sea, it appears to be an open-and-shut suicide. But the victim is Dr Richard Firth—a renowned psychiatrist who allegedly took his own life in 1995 after a rapid fall from grace and a damning malpractice investigation.

Only, Dr Firth never died. He vanished—only to resurface later under a stolen identity.

As DCI Frank Black and DI Gerry Carver unravel the mystery of Firth's second life, they uncover a disturbing legacy: a man who offered healing but left only ruin. His past patients and colleagues are hiding secrets of their own—and someone will do anything to keep them buried.

In a case built on false identities, fractured memories, and truths lost to time, Frank and Gerry must navigate a web where the lines between victim and killer, patient and predator, blur beyond recognition.

In Whitby, the shadows remember what others forget.

The perfect combination!

I like this detective very much, we I also know the area quite well which enhances the enjoyment of the stories. I also know the narrator as I have listened to Harry Grimms Dales adventures and I like his story telling skills.

Another good story
